What What! So I got the chance to review some of the wonderful Farm Rich and let me just say.... I loved them!

The first one I tried was the Mozzarella Bites. My first thought was WOW, these are super easy to make! You can make them either in the Microwave or the oven. I chose the oven just because normally I think stuff tastes better when you bake it rather than microwave it. So I poured the bag on my baking tray and popped them in my 400 degree over for 12 minutes (suggested time is 11-13) and let them bake.

They were a nice pretty golden color when I took them out and I had the urge to just pop one in my mouth, which I tried, and burnt my fingers, so that was not a good idea. I let them cool for about 5 minutes while I got the ranch and pizza sauce around for dipping.

They tasted delicious! Especially with the sauce, to me eating them plain was a little bland, but I was the only one at the table who thought so. Also, I thought they tasted better in the pizza sauce, but they were still very good in the ranch.

OH! And they fill you up quickly. We finished the whole bag but there were four of us and by the time I was done eating I was holding my stomach groaning, "I'm so full!"

Great product! Delicious, easy to make, and quick for those nights that you only have a short time for dinner or snacks. =)

The other product I tried was the Mini Quesadillas. Now these I loved even more than the mozzarella bites!

They are made with all white meat chicken and a southwestern blend of cheddar and jack cheeses. They were also super easy to make. Once again I dumped the bag on my tray and popped it in the 400 degree oven but this time I cooked them for 19 minutes (suggested is 18-20). Now, believe it or not this time I was able to restrain myself from grabbing one, but the urge was still strong.

I was patient (Kind of) and waited until they cooled and were plated before biting into one and I am so glad because they tasted so good. We also had a lot of dipping sauces with these... We had cheese, sour cream, salsa, ranch, and a couple of homemade dips. My favorite was mixing the cheese and sour cream. Yummmmmmmy.

All in All we were all very happy with the Farm Rich products, and we have bought them since, and will continue buying them!

So I don't know if anyone watches ABDC, but if you don't... you should. =)

And whether you do or not... You should Check out Mos Waned Crew! =) I love them... Seriously. ♥

They are AMAZING.

10 fresh dancers and choreographers representing 30 different crews from Southern California to Houston to Chicago, Mos Wanted Crew can be considered the All Star team of the dance, choreography culture!!

This is their first performance on Americas Best Dance Crew, and they're doing it up to In the Ayer by Flo Rida.

They were the last crew to go on and even JC said that they saved the Best for Last! =)

Now when they say Mos Wanted it's about what they want most. Dance. They put their hearts into dance, it's their passion. They strive to be successful in dance, and they give it their all to make it work. Its was what they want most. You can see that they put their all into it just by watching them, both as a group and as individuals.

I mean Seriously..

You can't watch this and tell me he didnt put his heart into this. You can see it on his face and in his movements. This is his passion, his love.

Or this. I love how they are all goofing off, but you can see them go serious when they start. =)

This....

Or this... Lando!! =)

And of course the Black & Yellow release:

Sorry About the video overload! =) There were a few more I was going to post.... But I figured I should stop. I just figured that if you watched the videos it would do more than me trying to explain it... I could if you wanted me to though! =)

(And yes, My Puspos addiction is still going strong, but that's not the reason I love Mos Wanted....... Not the only reason ;) )

Me, I'm afraid I'm running a bit behind! I've seen a few movies in the past few weeks and I still havent posted my thoughts! One of them is The Hunger Games, which some of you may remember I went to the midnight showing of! So even though it's a little late, here is my review! Along with a few other reviews. =) =) =)

The Hunger Games:

Alright, so because I read the book I had very high expectations of this movie! And I'm happy to say..... It met all of them. Sure parts of it were a little different, and they cut a few things out, but they had to or the movie would have been to long. Plus the things they cut out were no big deal really. Parts of it were sad, especially one particular part. My cousin and I both cried. It was a very very good movie, and I was very happy with it! My one dislike...... Now I have to wait for the second one. =)

21 Jump Street:

This was a movie that my nephew and I both wanted to see, so I took him for his birthday and we both loved it!!! Sure, there were a few dumb parts, but that was kind of expected. It was funny for the most part, and we both laughed. =) =) OH and Jonah Hill, awesome! And with the short hair he's looking pretty good. =) ;)

Titanic in 3D:

So I'm a huge Titanic fan, so of course once I heard they were going to release it in 3D I KNEW I was going to see it. First let me say it was AWESOME! I loved it in 3D, it was just awesome to watch. Now.... I guess I forgot how LONG that movie was (even though I have it)... Because about 2 hours in I was looking at my clock like, "WOW this thing is long!" OH and funny story, about halfway through the movie I went out to get snacks, and I noticed everything was looking funny, and I started getting funny looks...well... I lifted my hand and YEP I had forgotten to take the 3D glasses off... And I did it AGAIN when the movie ended! My friends were just cracking up. lol. But ANYWAY. Even though it is long, and my bum went numb, I am very glad that I went and saw it. It was very cool to be able to watch it in 3D. I probably wouldnt go again though, because I've seen it in 3D already, and it was just to long to be sitting in the theater.

American Reunion:

Ok, so this got mixed reviews. A lot of people said it was awful, while a few said it was a pretty good movie. I LOVED IT! So did the friends that I went with! It was SO SO SO FUNNY. =) I also have to say that I own all of the other 7, so maybe I'm a little biased. But I really did love it. Some of the jokes were immature but come on, it's American Pie! What do you expect!?!? One of the best things about it was that it had the original cast, including Steve Stiffler (Sean William Scott), and he is HILARIOUS! Seriously, if you see it, wait for the cooler and jet ski scene, it is FUNNY. And we weren't the only ones laughing, the whole theater was, and there were quite a few people in there. =)

Ok, so I don't know how many of you have read the book or seen the preview for the movie, or how many of you are planning to see the movie. All I have to say is.............

I'M GOING TO THE MIDNIGHT SHOWING!!!!!!!!!!

And I'm pretty excited about it if you can't tell!

I've read all the books, I finished all three in two days. That is how hooked I was, and so I've just been waiting for the movie to come out. And for the past few weeks I've been bouncing off the walls and trying to decide if I wanted to go to the midnight showing.

Well my mind was made up 20 minutes ago when my cousin told me she had an extra ticket if I wanted to go to the midnight showing with her.

Uhh, Hell yes I want to go! Actually, it was more like this:
SERIOUSLY!?!?!??!?!!?!?!? UHHHH YEAH!

But anyway. Point is, I'm going and I'm super excited.

I've read a few reviews on the movie and I'm hoping it's as good as I think it's going to be. I will let you all know though! =)

I do I do!! I love soda, something about the fizz just makes me smile. I love water and tea too, especially sweet tea, yum yum. But Something about having a nice cold glass of soda just brings a smile to my face. Now, when I buy soda in the store it's a bit of a pain, you have to think of the cost, the storage, and what to do with the bottles when you're done with them. So I end up with a ton of bottles that need to go back and I have to shove them somewhere until I get a chance to take them back.

I have I have! SodaStream is a company that makes At Home soda makers. SodaStream is an "Active Green"product, meaning that consumers are actively reducing their CO2 footprint every time they make soda or sparkling water at home instead of buying it from the store. The more the system is used on a daily basis, the more CO2footprint the user actively saves. Using your own soda make means:

Less packaging waste from cans and bottles.

Less pollution caused by transport of bottled beverages.

One SodaStream carbonator makes 60 or 110 liters, equivalent to 170 or 310 aluminum cans! When empty, the carbonator is refilled and reused, ready to make more fizzy and tasty soda whenever you want it.

So last week I received my very own SodaStream!! To say that I was excited is an understatement. I opened it as soon as I got it in the house.

So along with my SodaStream I also got full size bottles of the soda mixes. I got:

Diet Lemon Lime (Like Diet Sprite)

Root Beer

Diet Pink Grapefruit

Pomegranate Peach Green Tea

Cola Free (Like Coke Zero)

Cranberry Raspberry

Ginger Ale

Black Currant & Pear

My Water Flavors

So the first thing I noticed was that I didn't have to plug this in, I didn't even have to use batteries. I was so surprised, I kind of just stared at it for a few minutes like "What?!" But anyway.

So what you do is fill the Soda bottle with water up to the fill line, and screw it into your SodaStream:

And then you press the button on top until you hear the buzz. Three buzzes means that your soda is fizzy! You can do more that three or less, but three is good for me!

Then you remove the bottle and choose your flavor! Fill the cap and pour it in!

The first one I made was Pomegranate Peach Green Tea.

What do I think??

I LOVE this thing! It's easy to use and the Soda tastes great. The Cola Free tastes exactly like Coke Zero to me and the Root Beer tastes just like Root Beer, I also think the Diet Lemon Lime is better than Diet Sprite. And it holds the fizz. It's not like when you buy soda and after you open the bottle a few times all the fizz is gone. It is so convenient, no need to go to the store to buy soda, you can make your own!

I would recommend the SodaStream for all the soda lovers out there. It's easy to use, It tastes great and you don't have to worry about storing soda or soda bottles anymore.

Oh! And just a tip:

When I fill the bottle with Water, I put it in the fridge for a while to let it get nice and cold. =)

If you have heard of The Wanted, they're a British and Irish boy band based in London..... And they are AMAZING! Seriously, I have an obsession.

So first..... The members!

Tom Parker:

Max George

Siva Kaneswaran

Jay McGuiness

Nathan Sykes

Now I LOVE The Wanted, I think they're great, and they're not the typical "boy band". They play instruments, they can sing, and I think they're just wonderful. They're also more focused on the music other than their looks, which I KNOW you can't tell, because they are HOT, but still.

They are based in London and they have been popular there for a few years, and they debuted in the USA last year. =) Although I gotta say boys, dancing is not a strong suit, at least not that I've seen.... But that doesn't make me love them any less!!!

Plus, who doesn't love sexy men with even sexier accents? I mean seriously. =)

So here's their single, Glad You Came. I love it.

You can also find live performances on Youtube, if you search Glad You Came The Wanted, you can find the one they did on Ellen, and it was great. They went into the audience, it was great. =)

They also did a cover of Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls and I love it. I like the song, and I love this cover, their voices go so well together and I think I might like this better than the original.

Plus.... Tom's raspy voice just gets me every time. =)

Not only are these boys great at their own songs, but when it comes to covers, they are the best out there.

Tom, Max, Siva, Jay, and Nathan totally slayed their solos left and right and killed on the harmonies on their cover of Neon Trees' "Animal".

Ok, and just one more....... Hopefully. This is their song Gold Forever. =)

And I have to end this now, or I will just post more videos. I TOLD you I had an obsession.

But Part of the reason I posted so many videos is because I can sit here and tell you a thousand times how wonderful they are. How great their music is, how much I love them. But no matter what I say you have to form your own opinion, and I must say, I think it's going to be the same as mine. lol. Or at least....I hope it is. =)

If you want more music from The Wanted you can search on youtube for The Wanted. =)

So I have a MAJOR addiction to makeup as some of you may know, but what you may not know is that I am in LOVE with Urban Decay. Their products are amazing and one of my favorite things is their Book Of Shadows. Some of you may have heard of the Book Of Shadows pallets, they are limited edition pallets that are just simply amazing. =)

Now most of the Book Of Shadows pallets come with the 16 eye shadows and 2 eye pencils. But this one is Different! =)

This comes with the 16 eyeshadows of course, but it also comes with a travel size Primer Potion, a travel size Supercurl Curling Mascara, and a FULL SIZE 24/7 Waterproof liquid eyeliner!! And lets not forget...... A Mini Speaker and a cord!! So you take the cord, plug it into the speaker and then to your phone or ipod! And the speaker puts out good sound too, I like it. Plus it has a clip on it, so you can carry it like a keychain. =)

The eyeshadows are great! Like almost all other Urban Decay eyeshadows they are highly pigmented, smooth, and they stay on all day. I use the primer potion and I never have any problem with creasing or fading, which I love.

All in All, I LOVE this Pallet. I like that they replaced the two mini eyeliners with the full size liquid liner, because although I love the pencil liner, I have been waiting to get a Liquid Liner, and I love it. It is easy to use and can create a sharp line, or can be smudged. And the speaker! I love the speaker, I plug it in to my phone and rock out while Im doing my makeup. It's a lot of fun. =)

So some pro's and Con's:

Pros:

Great new products

Limited Edition Colors

100% Cruelty Free

Creative Beautiful packaging.

Cons:

Expensive

Some shades are to glittery, Some are to sheer

The pallet is a little big and clunky.

AND AND AND!If you go to Urban Decays website they have this pallet on sale for $44.00! Plus you get an extra $15 off when you enter the code SEVENTEEN11!! And that's a really good deal, because it's originally $64!

Last night I was talking to my friend and we were talking about crushes, and she admitted to me that she has had a crush on a guy since the 4th grade, that's like 11 years. And I asked her why she never told me and she said, "Well I was ashamed. He was my best Friend, it was weird."

And all I could think was WOW. Because Im in almost the same situation, only he's not my best friend and it's been more like 13 or 14 years that I have been crushing on him. (Different Guys) So I asked around to a couple of my other friends and some of them feel the same way, so I figured if it could happen to us, it could happen to anyone. Anyone male or female could be going through what I'm going through, what my friends are going through, so I want to tell you this, maybe it'll help you find some comfort.

When I was in 3rd grade we moved to a new neighborhood. One of the first days we were there I took a walk, as I made it to the corner I saw some kids playing basketball....And I saw him. In that moment I had a crush, did I know that it was going to become this long drawn out thing? No, all I knew was that he was SOOO CUTE.

I won't bore you with our every encounter, but suffice it to say it left a mark on me. And no matter how hard I tried NOT to like him.... Nothing worked. He was a year older than me and I was madly in like with this older guy, and as the years passed and I went into 5th and 6th grade this crush just grew.

He would come over and laugh and talk, and we would hang out and with every word he spoke, with every smile he smiled I fell deeper and deeper. And he KNEW it. I wasn't very good at hiding my feelings, Im pretty sure EVERYONE knew I liked him.

Well, one day we're talking about it and he tells me I'm to young for him. Now you would have thought that would at least dampen this STUPID crush, but no....It didn't. It made me angry though, the big JERK. I mean seriously dude, I'm a YEAR younger than you! REALLY!? But of course I just smiled and nodded. And although he will probably deny it, he did use my crush to his advantage. But I let him, I guess I figured that if I did stuff for him he might stop seeing me as to young for him.

Yeah I know, young and dumb though, remember?

I still remember his smile, his laugh, and how he would talk to me when he and his friends would go by on their bikes or whatever.

So anyway, A few years ago I thought I had this stupid crush GONE. That it had packed its bags and FINALLY left me... But I was sorely mistaken. My friend and I were at the store, and for some reason had started talking about him, and neither of us had seen him for quite a while and we were laughing and joking and when we walked out the door BAM there he was. Driving by. I know! Weird right! Well we got his attention and he stopped and talked for a while and then he and I exchanged numbers.

Well He came over that night and we had fun, joking and goofing around. Having a good time, and with every moment I felt myself falling back to where I was. Realizing that I was NOT over him...No matter how hard I tried to be. And then....We kissed. It was short, more like a peck. But it was enough for me. The moment his lips touched mine it was like I had been electrified. His arms were around my waist and Im pretty sure that if he hadn't been holding me I would have melted to a puddle on the floor.

No one knows we kissed, not even my sister, so Im sorry Bean, but that little morsel was for me only. That was one thing I had to hang on to the hope that MAYBE I would finally get the guy that I had liked for so long... But of course, that didn't happen, and it still hasn't, so now it's yours world.

And the thing is, I'm still not over him.

I don't see him and I rarely talk to him, but it's still there....Im pretty sure it's one of those things I will never get over. There are times when I'll IM him or something, and we'll talk for a few minutes but it's nothing more than that. And yet this crush won't leave me alone. I see his picture, or I hear his name and it all comes rushing back to me.

Sometimes, the things he says when we're IMing I can hear him saying. I can see his smile. And it's just sad. I know it is, but I just can't help it.

My friend and I were talking the other day and she asked, "Well do you think it's just the idea of him?" And of course I was like, what a brilliant question! That could very well be it. But...Im afraid it's not. That night, I talked to him, and my stomach started doing backflips, and I couldn't help but smile. I don't think it is just the "idea" of this man that has me all......Crushy.

Now, I am ashamed too. I'm ashamed of this crush. Because deep in my heart I know that there will never be anything between us. In his eyes I will always be the dorky girl across the street that had a crush on him. I'll always be too young in his eyes. I will never make it past that. And yet, even though I know that...I can't stop liking him.

So know this, even if you have a crush on someone, even if it's unusually long, just know that there is always someone out there in the same situation you're in. There is always someone liking someone else, even if there's not a chance. There is always someone afraid to say what they feel. There is always someone who is ashamed of their feelings, or ashamed about who they have feelings toward.

If you're in a tough spot like me and some of my friends keep your head up, know that we are right there with you feeling what you're feeling, and most likely thinking what you're thinking. And know that you can come to us anytime.

You can't help who you like...Or in my case... Love.

If you made it through this then wow, I just noticed how long I rambled, and Im sorry!!!

Im doing purrrrty good. =) Planning out my shopping trip so that I can go grocery shopping either tonight or tomorrow. It will probably end up being tomorrow though, so I can finish getting my coupons around. If any of you read my other post you'll know that my coupon binder is GONE! And I still haven't gotten it back or found out if I will even get it back =( But I have still been getting my papers, I've just been going "Clipless" I don't really know if I like it. lol.

In other news, If you read my post about my 90 day challenge I am doing it, I didn't start when I wanted to because I procrastinate. but I have lost 3 pounds this week! I'm pretty excited. I'm sure I could have done better, but I went a little overboard on the chips and chocolate and candy last week. lol.

BUT when someone gets you a chocolate heart and stuff for Valentines Day you can't just ignore it. It MUST be eaten. lol. At least thats how I feel, call me weird if you must. =)

Other than that though I had a good week, I walked and jogged almost every day, I did a little Yoga, I danced a little. I had fun. =)

Also, Where I live we are having a very mild winter, so there has been no snow or anything like that and it really hasn't been to cold so walking and jogging is really nice. And it's nice to be able to grab my ipod and go for a walk. I DO still wear my winter coat, because it is still a little chilly out, but it's still great.
